The 2010 NBA Finals are set with a rematch of the 2008 match-up between the LA Lakers and the Boston Celtics. The Celtics won the 2008 tournament 4-2. Paul Peirce was Finals MVP.

This time around, both teams are different. The Celtics are coming off a bad season but are stepping it up in the playoffs as they usually do. The Lakers were #1 in the west and are hungry for their second straight championship.

The regular season series was split, with each team winning on the opponent’s court by only a point. The Lakers will have home court advantage.
